, During 4the described Alongitudinal outflanging and subsequent solelaying movement ofthe presser lplate 322, it is desirable to cause saidplate to exertdownward compacting pressure against the upper and sole,

l respectively.` To this end, the coverplate of the heel lasting head163 is provided with an upstanding bracket 34() having a flanged 'upperend from which an` abutment screw depends,Tapressure applying plate 342being `journaleu in the side of the bracket below its upper end withwhich said screw contacts when said plate is engaged and swung upwardlyagainst said screw by a roll 344 offset from arm 326, the position ofthe lower end of the screw determining the pressure angleof said plateand the degree of downward pressure applied by the plate against theroll 344 and arm 326 as tlie'la'tter slides backwardly. i

To locate the heel seat face of the last bottom in the plane forcgi-,operation with the described lasting means, a horizontal arm 346(if 4;ind5) is pivoted to theback edge of the heel lasting headandcarriesca depending adjustable stop 343, the arm being swung over to4position said stop above i the heel end ofthe last before the shoe isjacked up and back into the -heel band. llVlien the treadles .1l/l, 122are operated to jack the shoe. baclnvardlyand upwardly, the

W`ith the above (lescribed constructions of lasting mechanisms, theoperation of the in achine is brieliy as follows:

[fn/ward #mig/up- The last and shoe are mounted onitheA cairrier 93,100,the heel presser plate being turned back over the top edge of varm 326out of the Away, and the heel height gage 34S is swung into position.The treadles 114, 122 are operated to jack the shoeback and up into theVheel band, the heel height'gage being then swung vto one side'.` Anynecessary adjustnients'of the heel wipers and heel band are made, thetoe lasting head is adjusted as necessary yto the length, and swing otlast,-

and the toe wipers are given any of the described tilting I adjustmentsnecessary to place them in the longitudinalfand transverse planes of thefo'repartof the last bottom. Previous to this, the `toe rest is'adjusted, if necessary,cto support the toe atthe proper'elevation andthe toeV presser 262 is positionedover and vwithin the margin of thelast bottom at the toe. Assuming that the machine is to be operated bypower and that the toe aiidheel wipers are operatively` connected totheir operating cams the operator depresses treadle 206 ,andv`immediately releases it. I This throws in the one cycle clutch mechanismturning the cam shafts 164 and 186 through half a revolution and comingto a stop. At the beginningof, thisv `half :revolutionv thel heel band`is closed through cam groove l296 and held closed and the toe presser262 functions as aholddown, cam 224 acting through lever 270 togpressthe last down'into the toe of the upper and to clamp the upper and lastfon the toe rest. The heel and toe wipers then advance and close inoverv the margin of theyl'ast bottom, wiping the margin of the upperinwardly and formingan inturned flange and thereafter partially back oifor retract .andstop As the heelwipers advance .over the edge of the heelseat,v a high point 338l onthe periphery of cam fdisk 155 lifts thestandard 98 and causes Ythe-last and shoe to press the upper against theheel wipers, the pressure beingl released beforel the wipers retract.The toe and heel wipers stop automatically inpartially retractedposition vatthe end of a half revolution of their cam shafts-to enablethe inwardly flanged upper atthe heel to be tacked to the sole oruinsole' and to enable the ,inturned upper at .the toe end to be ico Yiio tacked, or wired',ldepending. upon the species ofshoe-#iQ e., McKayor turn or welt.y After theV ,inwardly flanged upper has tacked orwired` as the case requires, the treadl'e 206 Vis again actuated andthetoe and heel wipers again advance and then fully retract, theshoe beingagain pressed upwardly against the heel wipers.
